17. We conclude with the joyful
contrast. In this all these psalms are agreed: they all exhibit the blessedness
of the righteous, and make its colors the more glowing by contrast with the
miseries of the wicked. Praise is the occupation of the godly, their eternal
work, and their present pleasure. Singing is the fitting embodiment for praise,
and therefore do the saints make melody before the Lord Most High. The
slandered one is now a singer, and we leave him flying to the third heaven of
adoring praise.
